The friends of mine on Facebook who have bought the game seem to corroborate what a lot of reviews were saying about the game; that it's good, but merely "good" is a bit of a disappointment in this case.

I'm expecting sales of this game to be very top-heavy, dropping off relatively quickly after the first week. It was Ubi's strongest launch, but I don't think it'll topple the Wii versions of Just Dance 2 and 3 as their best-selling games. It might rank in with the Assassin's Creed games, though.

Will not be the case at all. People with the new consoles are going to eat up the new big titles. It'll certainly be over 10 million by the end of the year.

Doubt it. Ubi have never had a single title sell more than 10 million.

If we're talking 10 million combined across all platforms then yes, I think it's possible, but outside of Just Dance their best-selling series is AC, and no single version of that has sold more than about 6-7 million copies in its lifetime. That includes the original AC, which presumably would have spurred on a lot of sales because it was released at a similar time in a console's life cycle.

Going from what I've read of the UK, PS4 sales nearly doubled, but by comparison Mario Kart 8 saw Wii U sales increase nearly sevenfold. I think more of the Watch_Dogs sales would have been PS4/XO owners who were really jonesing for something new to play. The game appears to be good enough to draw in new gamers a bit, but I don't think PS4 or XO have that must-own killer app yet.
